Application filed February 23,1916 Serial No. 80,920.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ED A D F. HILL andlVILLIAM HERBERT MYERS, citizens of; the,

United States, residing at Peekskill and Brooklyn, respectively, in thecounties of WVestchester and Kings, respectively, and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves; and we dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to stoves and has for an object to provide aconstruction wherein the essential parts thereof may telescope eachother to present a compact article for shipment.

An object of this invention is to provide a stove having a firepotprovided with a bead about the upper edge thereof, to form annulargrooves to receive a shell comprising a combustion chamber either aboveor below said bead as desired, and to provide a top and bottom memberfor said stove hav ing provision for reversing said top and bottommembers to prepare a compact unit forshipment.

Further objects will be apparent from the following specification,appended claims and drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a stove constructed inaccordance with this invention, showing the same set up for use as astove, Fig. 2 is a similar view through the parts of the stove showingsaid parts nested as for shipment, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectionalview as on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings, 10 indicates the base which may have legs 11detachably secured thereto, and said base has a depressed centralportion 12, over which an upwardly tapering side wall 13 is placed toform an ashpit. The wall 13 is provided with an opening 14 which isnormally closed by the door 15 which may be slidably carried by saidside wall and this door may be further provided with an opening 16 overwhich a slide 17 is mounted to regulate the draft for the fire. The wall13 will be provided with the usual supports for the grate 18 and theupper edge of said wall has an inwardly directed flange 19 to form anannular de pression 20 to receive the lower edge of the firepot 21,which will preferably taper downwardly substantially as, shown. This.fire.- potwill have a bead 22 about the upper edge thereof, to providethe annular depressions 23 and 24, of which the annular depression 23receives the lower edge of a side wall 25 which may serve as thecombustion chamber and the heater portion of the stove when the stove isset up for use. This portion 25, may be provided with the guides 26 and27 between which the doors 28 are mounted and slide to expose theopening 29 formed in the section 25 for the admission of fuel to thefire. This section 25, is also provided with an opening 30 about whichis placed a flange 31 to receive a smoke pipe or the like, and the upperend of this portion 25 is adapted to receive a cover 32 which has theannular beads 33 and 34 formed thereon to form a recessed portiontherebetween, in which the upper end of the section 25 rests. The cover32 may be provided with a removable lid 35 which may also serve for theadmission of fuel to the interior of the stove.

The foregoing description applies to the stove as set up ready for useas shown in Fig. 1, but when it is desired to crate the stove forshipping, the several parts are rearranged as shown in Fig. 2, in whichthe annular rib 36 formed on the underface of the bottom 10, engages inthe annular de pression 23, and one of the ends of the section 25engages the annular depression 24: to support the firepot 21 as showninside of the section 25.

Slight modifications in the construction of the several parts may bemade without departing from the spirit of this invention and it isapparent that the several parts need not be assembled in the identicalform shown.

Having thus described this invention, we claim 1. A stove comprising afirepot, ashpit and ceive said shell, and said firepot adapted to bysaid shell and firepot in the diiierent asbe inserted in said shell andsuspended by sembly thereof.
